Q. I had an external hard drive loaded onto my computer, but it dropped and died. I want to review what was on there (filenames, not contents, obviously) to see if its worth sending to data recovery.
Is there some way to see that? The folders were visible on my computer at one time, and I haven't shut it off or cleared the RAM. Any ideas?
Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

A. with compupic pro i am being able to do that
but i erases after you disconnect a drive, as an usb memory pof a hard drive.
And cenatek's ramdisk is able to load all of a program into memory, that it means that kind of things its possible.
The problem is how to take data bak from memory to hard disk. Its like when you rise the buffer on winamp, you place a cd, load the winamp buffer (eg. 55000kb) and then expulse the cd and the music still is playing on winamp.
I was looking many time ago a software like that and nothing appears yet.
Someone must be wonking on it at any place but at least someone is doing it, im sorry i can't help more.

Can anyone recommend a data recovery service in New York City?
Q. I am looking for a good data recovery service (preferably in Manhattan) that is neither wildly expensive (preferably below $400), that will not destroy my hard drive. I've heard that bad data recovery services can actually make it impossible for you to ever get your data back. I don't want to lose my data to inexperienced people. Thanks for any advice.
Also, if there is a company that is really good and affordable that I can mail my Hard Drive to, then that might work too.
Thanks!

A. You might want to consider this alternative to having someone else do the work:
If you've got a lot of valuable files that must be recovered, have a look @ 'SpinRite' from GRC.
Does total disk maintenance; checks cable interfaces; many deep disk checks, recovers data & fixes HDD errors; etc.
THE industry standard.
About $90 US; money back if not satisfied.
Money back if not satisfied.
Google for reviews.
Well worth the money.

Works on Mac drives: use Spinrite first, then migrate drive & use the Mac recovery utility on the repaired data.
Does not work with newer "solid state" drives.

Is there a software that can totally clean hard drive data?
Q. I�m planning to sell my hard drive to a friend of mine and I�m worried if they might recover sensitive data from my hard drive using data recovery software.
A. Use Eraser to completely overwrite data on that hard drive to DOD standards. Get Eraser here:

I think you'll be pleased with it's results, although you'll have to allow it to run [probably] over night, depending upon the size of the hard drive and how many passes you set it to run.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!
EDIT: DBaN is also a great program. Get it here:
http://www.dban.org/
Both progs are absolutely free.
The free version of Killdisk only overwrites at one pass. So the other two options are much better.

If I take my MacBook in to get the data restored, would the technicians see what is on my hard drive?
Q. My MacBook was dropped. It turns on, the chime sounds as normal, but it stays stuck on the gray screen.
I am not yet sure what the problem is (suggestions are welcome!), but if it is a hard-drive problem and I need data recovery, would the technicians see exactly what content I have saved on my hard drive?
My laptop is password-protected, and all I want is to be able to get to the screen where I can log in.

A. The would see, but they probably wouldn't care enough to actually look.
Just take her in and get it done. You don't even know if they will have to restore the data. Yours doesn't sound like that it is going to be all that bad, you can sit on the fence for ever, but that won't get your computer up and running.
Good luck, and get cracking on the "fix it trip to Apple"
